“…Conversely, in cooked meat, aldehydes concentration showed a positive correlation with the concentration of PUFA in the muscle, such as C18:3 cis-6 cis-9 cis-12 (0.385, P = 0.030), C22:5 cis-4 cis-7 cis-10 cis-13 cis-16 (0.463, P = 0.008), and in tendency with C22:4 cis-7 cis-10 cis-13 cis-16 (0.330, P = 0.065). This is consistent with the fact that, generally, cooking represents a stress for meat, which increases the susceptibility of PUFA to lipid peroxidation as compared with raw meat (Nieto et al, 2011). Indeed, elevated cooking temperatures increase the rate of chemical reactions (Ahn et al, 1999).…”
